How can I prepare my pet for cold weather?

The short answer is no! Dogs cannot sweat, and their primary means of cooling is through panting and some radiation through their skin. Shaving their coat would be like removing the insulation from around your freezer or refrigerator, which keeps the cool inside.

Dogs’ fur also keeps direct sunlight off their skin. Without that barrier, the sun would heat their skin and thus their blood, raising their temperature to a potentially unhealthy level.

Yes, take her to the vet as soon as you can. She may have a severe dental disease such as cavities or abscesses, which are extremely painful and may be causing her to avoid eating. She may need dental x-rays, extractions, pain medication and antibiotics.

Yes, you should take him to your vet immediately as he may have a respiratory infection. The “rocking” is probably what we call “tail bobbing,” and it is what birds will do when they are having trouble breathing. A bird with respiratory problems is an immediate emergency.

Yes, you should have him checked by your veterinarian; it may just be a simple respiratory irritation or could be what is commonly called “kennel cough.” If it worsens, it could lead to more serious conditions like pneumonia.

Ask the groomer what their grooming procedure is and what products are being used. Soaps, shampoos and even clipped hairs can get into the eyes and cause irritation, burning and even ulcers. If it is bad enough, the pet may paw or scratch at the eyes and cause even more damage. You should always use a mild, tear-free shampoo on a washcloth around the eyes and rinse heavily.
